Australia’s first New Home Test Drive initiative in The Village, Townsville has proven a success, with a 20 per cent boost in sales as a direct result of the try-before-you-buy experience.

Member for Townsville Scott Stewart said the level of interest from potential buyers in The Village has increased significantly since the test drive initiative launched in April.

Homebuyers are loving the opportunity to immerse to test drive their new home for a night or two before they commit.
